Private money does what private money wants and that is how it should be. Attended god sons wedding at the AF Academy, back when you could enter without a pass, and part of that was brunch at the Broadmoor, took 2 hours. Intended to ride Pikes Peak RR but hit a day they either weren’t running or we missed the last train, don’t remember. Son and best man drove up instead, I was stuck with a van load of females that had no interest. Now that it’s rebuilt, I’m going to do my part to help pay off the $100mil. Not taking the girls this time
In my youth, our family took the Manitou & Pikes Peak up to the summit and a limousine down as a package. You get more scenery that way. Unfortunately, it was the day after the Pikes Peak Hill Climb so any snow along the road was covered with dirt and dust.
